NURS 4090: From Nightingale to Now: Health Care and Nursing on Both Sides of the Pond: New & Featured Materials

An essential part of preventive pediatric medicine is a complete and thorough physical assessment. Part 1 covers the evaluation of external body functions, including assessing physical growth and observing general appearance of the whole person. Part 2 covers the examination of internal body functions, including the chest and lungs, heart, abdomen, musculoskeletal system, and neurological system. The course presents a systematic, step-by-step process for performing a complete internal physical exam on a preschool-age child.

This program describes the importance of positive communication and teaches effective methods for creating clear, respectful communication between the caregiver and the recipient of care.
